<p>Does Anybody Do an essay other than the "free choice" on the common app? I'm having troublle thinking of ideas for an essay and im wondeirng if i ve should succumb to the choices theyve given</p>
<p>i would just write an essay about whatever you want and then see if it fits under one of the categories... i found that once i had written the essay all of the topics seemed really broad and it could have fit under a couple of them. since you have the free choice it doesn't matter which one you choose.</p>
